Kristine & I are back from the wedding celebration of our good friends Rob Schnare & Hanna Boone. The festivities took place in Hood River, OR and up at the Gorge Crest Vineyards on the Washington State side of the Columbia River. It was an awesome weekend of great friends, gorgeous scenery, and maybe one too many Dark & Stormy’s all in the names of Rob & Hanna. The Schnares & Boones sure put on an amazing weekend for us all and for that we are so appreciative & grateful to be included. Rob & Hanna leave for Europe tomorrow for their honeymoon and then back to Portland, OR to continue their rockstar lives as a married couple. Rob is a longtime best friend of Kristine & myself who I met almost a decade ago through work and has since been on many amazing trips with us such as Aconcagua in 2006 & Mt. Elbrus in 2008. Hanna is an amazing gal who turns out to be a distant relative of mine with her being a direct descendant of Daniel Boone and me being a direct descendant of Daniel Boone’s wife, Rebecca Bryan. Some pictures I took of the wonderful weekend are as follows:

Kristine & I stopped at Multnomah Falls on the way back to Portland to stretch the legs and do a quick hike
Looking down from the top of the falls
Oregon sure does have some awsome natural wonders. It was good to get back here after a few years
